ie control of the Department of
> Orestry. Any citizen of the State who
can find a plot of ground on a State
forest suitable for gardening or farm

Pennsylvania Forest Service are In- ■
structed to submit to the Commissioner j
of Forestry immediately upon receipt'
all requests for plots, and information j
as to the purpose for which they are
to be used.
Under certain restrictions the De- '

of stale Forest land for farming. There |
are tens of thousands of acres in the!
State forests which are not now pro- i
ducing any valuable timber, but which |
cannot be reforested for some years. I
Any part of this area, which is mostly
covered with bracken, sweet fern,
huckleberry bushes and scrub oak, mar
l>e secured for farming until the period
of food shortage is safely over.
Other large areas will stand a limit
ed amount of grazing. Special short
term grazing permits will be issued on
the recommendation of foresters in
charge, subject to such regulations as
will protect reforested areas and val
uable natural reproduction from dam
age by cattle or sheep.

Administration May Consent to
Sending Division to France
This Summer
Washington, April 14.—C01. Roose
velt's pla nto raise a division to light
in France, unless unforeseen obstacles
come up, will receive approval. It is
understood that the matter has been
discussed by the President and his
Cabinet and that it Is realized that the
sentiment of the country is in favor
of it.
Certain general staff officers are
rather against the idea, on the ground
that it would be impossible for Col.
Roosevelt and his volunteers to be in
shapo for the trench warfare now be
ling conducted by the best trained inlll
| tary brains of Europe.
BUt the President is not going to let
objections stand in the way if means
can be found to obviate them. Ono
suggestion is that Colonel Roosevelt
|be permitted to get the division to
gether, but turn over the command.to
I highly trained officers who have had
experience in the present war or to
; regular officers of the United States
army. The Colonel himself is said to
be not averse to having a regular offi
cer in command. Ho suggested tl.at
' a regular army officer be in command
I of an army corps which he said he
i could organize if the President would
I give the word.
There is also a strong sentiment In
Congress in favor of Colonel Roose
velt's plan and in favor of a volunteer
! force to France anyway. Pressure is
: being brought to bear on the House
committee to incorporate the plan in
j the army bill entirely apart from the
conscription proposal.
, Representative Emerson of Ohio
[ formally introduced in the House to
, day a resolution asking President Wil
son to authorize Colonel Roosevelt to
[ raise an army.
"My resolution asks the President to
permit the Colonel to raise 100,000
men lor duty in France—the Roose
■ velt volunteers. Ho is the one Amer
ican who can do it. He has the ad
' I miration of many young men. They
will follow him in Europe as they
! have followed him here. There are
j four reasons for the resolution: A vol
|' unteer army is always better than a
I drafted army. Many young men have
11 confidence in the leadership of Colonel
I Roosevelt and will volunteer under
him. An army is no stronger than its
commander. Men will fight better if
'! they have confidence in their leader.
| Young men will follow him better
' than they would a set of officers whom
I they did not know and whom they did
not select."
